Chicken Tetrazzini

Date: 2010.01.28 | Category: Cooking | Tags: chicken,pasta

As we march through this week of Patsy’s hand me down recipes, today I share an easy way to use leftover chicken (or turkey or ham).  This is a fast meal (maybe 15 minutes of prep) and a one so simple, a teen could begin it for you while you are making your way home from the office.  And even though it is a solution for leftovers, it also is a delicious leftover!

Ingredients:

1 can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 c. water
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
4 c. cooked spaghetti (8-oz. dry)
1 1/2 c. chopped chicken/turkey (or cubed ham)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Combine soup, water and cheese over low heat and cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.  Add spaghetti, chicken, and parsley.  Heat throughout and serve.

Sometimes I toss in some peas or carrots.  You know what Mom says “we all need our vegetables!”
